Beggars Fair Blog

Yesterday we caught the Train to Romsey for The Beggars Fair...Its a free all day music festival which takes place all over the town in Pubs..Parks..on Stages, Churches and the Abbey...I was at a Pub called The William IV...There wasnt a P.A, so I had to "Busk" it! I Had to shout above the usual pub noise and had to sing even louder...I positioned myself real close to the people who were listening and played for all my worth...I really enjoyed it as it was a no frills, rough and ready Acoustic performance which the name Beggars Fair would have be proud of.. I did plan to play some quieter more sensitive songs but hey "you pays your money"! ( or begs it ) If your in the area next year go along and have a fine free day of music in a typically English small old Town Setting...
